I have some questions that people don't seem to be able to answer in 
sci.space.
 
Situation:  I need to place a casino 200 miles over Nevada with a 
tether below it for elevators.  I have access to 2026 AD technology.  
 
Questions:  What amount of power would the casino need to stay over 
one spot in Nevada?  What would be a good source of this power?  What 
should the tether be composed of?  What will be the weight capacity 
of the tether?
